the President, as he stepped down and warmly
grasped "Jim's" hand, kindly drew him from
the ranks and detained him for few moments
conversation, realized the difference any more
than did Uncle Jim. The latter subsequently,
informed US that his shoe store in Springfield
was next door to Mr.. Lincoln's office, and that
he had made many pairs of boots for him there.

The Angel of Little Sacrifices.

French Writer.
Have you never seen her at work?
Have you never, at least felt her in
fuence? In every Christian family
God has placed the angle of little sac
%ritices, trying to remove all thethorns,
to Tighten all the burdens, to share all
the fatigues. We feel that she is with
us, because we no longer experience
that misunderstanding of heretofore,
those deliberate coolnesses which
spoil family life; because we no long
er hear thosesharp, rude words which
wound so deeply, and life is sweeter.
The angel of little sacrifices has re-
ceived from heaven the mission of
those angels of whom the prophet
speaks, who remove the stones from
the road, lest they should bruise the
feet of the travellers.
THERE'S a place less commodious
than another; she chooses it, saying
with a sweet smile, How comfort.

having mentioned to any one the
happiness which they would give
him!
Does a dispute arise? She knows
how to settle it by a pleasant wore
that wounds no one and falls upor
the slightest disturbance like a ray O
sunlight upon a cloud. Should sh,
hear of two hearts estranged, she ha'
always new means of reuniting then
without their being able to show he,
any gratitude, so sweet, simple anc
natural is what she does. But VIII,

torn her hands, the pain her hear
has endured? And yet she is Away

Have you ever seen her at work
the angel of little sacrifices?
On earth she is called a mother
a friend, a sister, a wife. In HEAVIER
she is called a saint.

Chief Arthur of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers is a firm be-
lever in the American idea of indi-
vidual liberty and equal rights. He
presides over the most successful and
beneficial of trades organizations,
and, in an address the other day, he
laid down the doctrine, Labor has
its rights, but M labor organization
has a right to prevent others from
working" He said further that the
the right to work or quit work is God
given, but that when labor organiza-
tons try to prevent others from TAX
ing the places of strikers, they make
a great mistake. 1t will be observed
that, acting upon this righteous and
thoroughly American principle, the

able weather means p%eevishness,
irritability, petulance. Even suicide,
in many cases, is caused by gloomy
weather. Happy are the people who
never know by anything in them

the rain is pouring, whether storms

the population of this State, as shown
by the census, was 996, 1886; in March,
1886, as shown by the State census, it
was 1,466, 1888 and it is now fully
1850, 900. In 1880 Kansas had only
3,1O4 miles of railway within her
borders; on the first of March last the
State Board of Railroad Assessors re-
ported 6,20s miles for taxation, and
from 900 to 800 miles will be added to
this aggregate before the close of the
year. In 1880 the assessed value Of
all the real and personal property of
the State aggregated only $3.50 $751;
$50; on March 1, 1886, the total was
$277, 576,363 and for the present fiscal
year the returns thus far received in
dictate a total of $780, OO, 900. In 1880
there were 5,3l5 school houses, 2,514
churches and 347 newspapers in Kan
sas. There are now fully $500 school
houses, $500 churches and 700 news
papers. In 1880 only fifty-five towns
and cities had populations in excess
OF 1000; in 1887 more than 200 have
each over ] 900 inhabitants, fully %
have over 5000 and four have each
over 10000. In 1880 only S,S6S, 600
acres were planted in crops; this year
the area planted exceeds 16, 1000, 900
acres. In 1880 the value of the farm
products of Kansas was only $S4,52l,-
600; for 1886 their value was over
$26l 100000. For the fiscal year 1880,
the percentage of State taxation was

the total per centage levied for all
State purposes is only 4! mills.
During the past two years and q
half | have organized seventeen coun-
ties in the western section ofthe State,
and census takers have beenappointed
for four other counties, leaving only
two counties remaining to be organ
lied. The cities and towns of Kansas
with hardly any exception have KEEP
pace in growth and prosperity with
this marvellous development of the
State. Many of them have doubled
their population during the past year
and it is a remarkable tact that sever
al cities and towns languished O.
stood still until they abolished theil
saloons, and from that date to thu
present time their growth and pros
perity has equaled and in some in
stances surpassed that of other place
with equal natural advantages.

confute and c~onfound those who as
sert that the material prosperity @
any community is promoted by tn
presence of saloons. So far as Kansa
and all her cities and towns are con
cerned the reverse OF this assertion j
true. The most wonderful era c

tellectual development of growth i

Affected by the Weather.

Why not? We owe everything to
the sun. When he hides his face
why should not some of us be sad?
We are creatures of the weather.
Every change Of air affects all per-
sons, all animals that breathe the air.
Animals inferior to man are quickest
to observe these changes. Spiders
foretell the variations in the weather,
birds are silent before storms and dur
ing their continuance. Some indi-
viduals are just as quickly affected /;
they know when storms are coming,
when the wind changes, and from
what quarter it is blowing. Every
mother and teacher knows how al
most impossible it is on some days to
control either themselves or their
children. The electrical currents
run the wrong way and make per-
petual mischief. These days are
sometimes sunny and sometimes
stormy. There are days of each kind
in which it is very difficult to settle
routine work. One is restless, tidgety,
unhappy but there comes a change
in the weather, and what a change is
wrought in everything else! The
baby stops crying and is cheerful
again; the children cease fretting and
find quiet amusement in their toys
the grown people cease backbiting OF
fault finding or moping,
and grow benevolent, cOmplaisanI
